Chapter Seventy-Four: Yang and Yin
This winter snowed continuously, Xiyue sat alone outside the study, looking at the heavy snow with great curiosity, I really didn't dare to imagine that there were such beautiful things in this world.
But now the major families don't have such a good mood as the West Night.
After the abolition of the declaration of land reclamation announced the world, many elderly family heads were directly angry and vomited blood on the spot and died.
The family property of several generations was deceived by Chen Mu in this way, and those fertile fields were deceived at a very low price of cabbage, and then distributed by the imperial court to those damned poor!
Unwilling!
Moreover, this time, the prince not only deceived those big families, but also many ministers in the court, and was also deceived into selling a lot of land, and was directly angry and bedridden.
Prime Minister's House.
"What a cunning! This prince directly played the entire Dragon Dynasty! ”
Liu Cheng directly punched the table, and Zhao Yue hurriedly stepped forward to appease him when he saw this: "Xiangye dissipates his anger, don't be angry."
It's better to be angry, so that the old lady no longer has to smell this old smell every day!
Liu Cheng slowly looked at Wang Quanyi, who had been silent, and said lightly: "This is the flaw you are talking about?" With this time, the prince directly deceived 3 million acres of land, and he has seen the land reform policy in its own right, do you know that once it is successfully implemented, the entire Dragon Dynasty will change after the autumn harvest next year? ”
This famine is a turning point for both Liucheng and Chen Mu, if Chen Mu wins, the officials who have begun to sway will completely get closer to the prince.
If Liucheng wins, he will be able to directly use the failure of disaster relief to completely abolish Chen Mu.
But who would have thought that this kid would come to such a strange hand, and when they reacted, three million acres of land had already fallen into his hands.
Wang Quanyi responded lightly: "Liu Xiang, in fact, the prince has revealed a big flaw, you may not have noticed."
Liu Cheng's face froze: "What do you mean?"
"This time, the prince has provoked all the families in the world in one go, and the families in the world are now like a piece of iron that has been burned red, and one person is almost pouring a basin of water."
As soon as he heard these words with deep meaning, Liu Cheng suddenly smelled a trace of something wrong from it, this Wang Quanyi is really bold.
Glancing at Zhao Yue on the side, Liu Cheng smiled and said, "Yue'er, go and help Benxiang make a pot of water and make a cup of tea."
"Yes."
Zhao Yue smiled slightly, but when she turned around and walked out of the door, her face suddenly became solemn, did Wang Quanyi want to incite the scholars to rebel and force the palace?
Seeing that Zhao Yue was far away, Wang Quanyi continued: "I really want the scholars to make trouble, after all, although the prince has done such a big thing for the benefit of the people, but Xiangye, public opinion is in the hands of people with status in the whole world after all."
"Even if the crown prince supports the dawn, what is the use? It's just a group of untouchables who can't even afford to eat, the families have money and food in their hands, once someone picks a head, the families from all over the country will inevitably respond, and once the matter is out of control, we can use the reason to calm the people's grievances and give the prince ......"
In the end, Wang Quanyi's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent.
This is a rebellion, even though the prime minister of Liucheng is still secretive about this word.
However, in the current situation, if he does not make an effective counterattack, the prince has established his prestige this time, and once he loses power, he will definitely usher in Chen Mu's liquidation.
"Okay, then you can do it!"
Wang Quanyi smiled slightly: "The minister has already contacted the various families in Yangzhou City a few days ago, Yangzhou City has been seriously affected this time, there are a lot of local displaced people, and those who stutter can sell their lives, and now there is an urgent report in the local area, and tens of thousands of righteous troops have been gathered in the local area, and Yangzhou City has been captured."
Liu Cheng's face was shocked: "You kid, you really don't think about the consequences when you do things, you don't send out the emergency report according to the table, let the rebels spread, so that the prince has no chance to react, if the prince knows in advance, you will be miserable."
"But if you succeed, you don't have to worry about the prince anymore."
Liu Cheng smiled with satisfaction: "I love to hear this, but your plan is ...... I think it can be the icing on the cake. ”
Shang Shufang.
"Your Royal Highness, now all localities have begun to divide the land to the people in order, but there are many families among the people who are not convinced, although we have clearly distributed the land to the people, but ...... Once we are gone, the local government and scholars will collude and continue to exploit the common people. ”
Hearing Mo Xun's return, Chen Mu slowly stopped his pen, and there was a touch of coldness in his eyes.
"Disobey the arrangements of the imperial court?"
Mo Xun showed a hint of helplessness on his face: "After all, the common people are alone, especially in remote areas, the hand of the central court can't reach through it at all, and the same is true in many places outside Tokyo, if the people want to farm, the families will still secretly force them to sign a tax agreement."
"What presumptuous!"
Seeing that these big families were still in violation, Chen Mudeng got up.
"Xiyue, go find a few sets of plainclothes and come over."
"This land reform is imperative, there are officials standing behind the scholars, and there is a palace behind the people, but we want to see who has harder wrists!"
After changing his clothes, Chen Mu took a few guards out of Tokyo City.
The counties outside the city are in full swing to divide the fields, and the ordinary people are lining up outside the yamen, but there is no laughter and laughter as Chen Mu imagined.
They were still the same as before the disaster, their faces were full of sorrow and numbness, and when they opened up the wasteland, their eyes were originally bright.
When they opened up the wasteland, they thought that they would be able to control their own destiny from now on, but in the end, they suddenly found that it was still that world, that group of people, and nothing had changed.
Chen Mu's face sank, and he simply lined up, he wanted to see how this group of bastards secretly Chen Cang!
Half an hour later, it was Chen Mu's turn to enter the county office.
But seeing a master sitting on the main seat, he glanced at Chen Mu hastily, and asked, "What's the name?"
"Chen Mu."
Hearing this, the master Bo glanced at Chen Mu again, and smiled disdainfully: "It's really interesting, a tenant farmer, with the same name as the prince, let's put a handprint on it."
After saying that, the master book handed a contract to Chen Mu.
Chen Mu took a closer look, and his face suddenly sank.
According to the article, in response to the imperial court's land reform and the idea of common prosperity, farmers receiving new land need to pay 10% of the grain tax for the government every year to ensure the local government's finances and the integration of the government and the people.
In addition, in order to uphold the concept of common prosperity, 50% of the grain tax is sent to them every year to show the kindness, selflessness and sincerity of the people of our Long Dynasty.
"Sign quickly, sign and dig the ground, there are so many people behind you."
Seeing these yin and yang strange orders, Chen Mu only felt angry in his heart for a while, these moths! Not only did he ask for fifty percent of the profits for the landlords, but he also took one percent of the benefits!
"After a year of hard work, we will have to get thirty percent of the grain, and the extra sixty percent of the grain tax, as well as these regulations, does the prince know?"
